Posted May 4, 2018 I'm seeing a couple of providers that I had favorited with their usernames changed to "xxx-fake" recently. Is this an internal TOB thing to weed out frauds? One of them even has a positive review, so I'm not sure what's going on. Can anybody clarify?

Posted May 4, 2018 These are profiles with confirmed bogus pictures. use the search function and change the all content to members then search the word fake. this will show you all of the profiles. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 4, 2018 Is it a permanent tag or lasts as long as the fake pics, or ........ ?? With or without warning first? Just curious, but not critical. Useful feature. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But their contact information is still posted so their profile/ad page is still fully functional and can still be used as an advertisement... 🙁 Maybe their contact info can be edited down to last four digits, or something similar, while the pics and name remain as warning?

That’s the catch22:: the number needs so stay up for reference when researching the number and/or numbers in the future. Returned research results will find the profile as fake, hopefully no one will continue to initiate contact with the crew and/or individual looking to deceive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
